For all of you participated in the parade this year, thank you. It was a huge
success. The Coast Guard Flyover was spectacular.
A very special thanks to Mr. Renee Rancourt for his incredible renditions of
both National Anthems.
I would also like to thank Jim Corsey for throwing out our 2008 first pitch.
I would also like to thank Tim Lacasse, who coaches in our minor division.
Tim is responsible for having Renee and Jim on hand for us, and I think that
they were an incredible addition to this year’s parade.
For the past few week’s you have been selling meat raffle tickets for us. Let
me say a few words about our Meat Raffle night on Saturday May 10. It will begin
at 6:00 p.m. at the Weary Traveler’s club in Monument Beach. A pasta dinner will
be available for $5.00 a person, and the cash bar will be open for the entire
evening.
We will be having a minimum of 15 individual raffles, with the possibility of
many more. Each meat or seafood raffle will be valued at $100.00 or more. Our 2
grand prize raffles are valued at least $200.00.
I can’t stress enough the importance of all of our fundraisers here in BYB
and BBR. We are a 100% self-sufficient organization, which means that we receive
$0.00 from the town in support. We do all of what you see at the fields, the
dedicated team of volunteers. We mow, paint, rake, cut down trees, and replace
infields, etc. etc. etc. We also are looking for more volunteers, as we always
have a shortage in this category. Our volunteers work 12 months a year to insure
that our leagues run as smoothly as possible, so that all of our stars have an
enjoyable time here playing. Please if you have any spare time at all, we would
love to have you get involved and help us out. I can personally guarantee that
it is time well spent.
Also returning this year will be our 2nd annual Home Run Derby, to
be held on June 14. Please take the time and download the information from our
web site and plan on joining us this year. Last year was our 1st year
and it was a huge success and everyone had a blast. All you moms and dads who
wish to swing for the fence, come on down and lets see what you got.
Once again, thank you all for participating in our leagues and have a great
season.
Tom Gibson,
President Bourne Youth Baseball & Bourne Babe Ruth
